Happy New Year, Folks! I just wanted to remind everyone of our get-together on January 20th to review some of Dave Roethel's SCCA memorabilia bequeathed to the...
Folks, Because the room size is limited and we've only got so much room at the restaurant for lunch, PLEASE don't invite anyone else to our meeting on the...
I'm trying to remember the newspaper writers who covered motorsports. I supplied Ev Gardner/Garner? with photos at the Daily News IIRC. Seems that Venlo...
Bob, These are correct. I believe Dick Slay was the racing/auto writer for the Washington Star when it existed. Mark Tapscott was the auto writer initially for...
Thank you, Steve. Is Gardner the correct spelling of Ev's name, and is the Daily News correct? IMHO, he was head and shoulders above all the others mentioned ...
Bob, I know what you mean about Warren Brown. When I was working at Summit Point I got elected to help out with the BSR driving school one afternoon -- for the...
Hi Bob, The Warren Brown story sounds sorta like how I became Automotive Editor at the Frederick News/Post in Frederick. I had been dropping off press...
Does any one know if the Stopwatcher is still being put out? Ted ... From: Stephen Lloyd To: Marlboro_Raceway@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007...
Thanks Stephen. I helped start that paper along with the Autocross association. Have good year and a great Jan meeting. Ted ... From: Stephen Lloyd To:...
I believe it was still being published in the 90s. I was still sending them items then, a bit difficult since I was out of town and had gone electronic, while...
It was published for later than that. Ruth Shenton (The Denmother) passed away in the 1996. But Bob continued to publish until just a couple of years ago. I'm...
Bob: Thanks for the info. being down here in Texas, I lost touch with the DC area people except col. Hauser and Jim Basey. Have a good new year and a great...
Hi, I wrote a column called "Freewheeling" for Stopwatcher from 1966 through the mid-80s. My material came from major car mags like Road & Track, Car & Driver,...
Brian, I remember you and your column well, and your enthusiasm. I recall that once when I was racing either my SCCA Daimler or Lola 1100 sports that I had...
Bob: I remember your column. I started the Autocross Assocation and often visited on talked to Ruth an Bob. How in Richmond Tx. All I can drive now is my...
Yeah, I remember you both well and if you recall, Pat and I ran Solo 1 for a couple years in the mid-70s. Just to make sure we're straight on things, I wrote a...
Brian: Anybody that ever read the Stopwatcher remembers your articles. About two years ago my brother, Phil Davis (WDC rallyist in the 70s and 80s), gave me...
Wally Strange, a fine fellow and generous with his prints. A lot of folks who didn't know him personally, didn't know he was black. Only of note as so few in...
Wally Strange passed away several years ago, I believe in 2000 or 2001. I had just initiated a search for him when I found his obituary on the Internet; he'd...
Stacy You might suggest that she offer them for sale as a group. I've seen some collections trading for reasonable prices lately. They are quite desirable to...
Members, I am a new list member who never raced at Marlboro but was a spectator many times. About a year ago I purchased a Austin Healey 100 racecar that had ...
Unfortunately, the removable front end would have been illegal back then. Essentially, the rule was you could remove items and or metal, but not add. So,...
I'm a new member and have not had a chance to look through so much good stuff. But I can identify a bunch of the "who's this" photos that Tex Hopkins daughter...
